A Walk On The Beach, Hard Lessons in Commitment

We had a nice, sunny weekend for beach walks and picture-taking.

On the less sunny side of things, I discussed the topic of leaving early with the Torps tonight. I'd been anxious about bringing it up, not only because I would be cutting in half a commitment I'd willfully signed up for, but also because this particular family has already had two unpleasant experiences while trying to arrange an au pair. I can't excuse my flakiness, but the lesson to take away here is to not underestimate the importance of being near family while arranging overseas work contracts. Not a great one to learn the hard way, but what's done is done.
